Timberline Lodge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

If you are a fan of old horror movies, the Timberline Lodge might remember you on one particular movie. This is the filming location of the Stephen King classic "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson. They also have the axe from the movie with "Here's Johnny" written all over and you can take a selfie with it.

The lodge is also popular for its fantastic breakfast and lunch buffet. You have to make a reservation online to attend the buffet which is 25 Dollars per person. Trust me, its worth it!

If you are a PCT-Thruhiker, I recommend to send a resupply box here, since resupply options are very limited at the Lodge and it is quite difficult to hitchhike into town and back. Packages are held for hikers for a 10 Dollars fee. Note that ONLY FedEx and UPS deliver here! No USPS anymore.
